Shrug. Just blowing off steam

A manager I had once told a woman we worked with her son was autistic because of vaccines. She's spent most her life working as a tropical research scientist and was only there part-time post-retirement because she still had her grown-up highly autistic son to look after. It was one of the most awkward moments of my life.

Rich white women are the worst most entitled emotionally abusive people to ever exist.

Very good no argument here. I just think in rhetorical terms for my own convenience, I'm not looking to contradict theory just for the sake of that. For instance any appeals to commonality is just connecting dots. I've never seen those arguments be very effective.

For example saying that migrant workers are "just like you!" is less effective than pointing out that unrestricted access to the job market is by design to cheapen the value of labour.

I wont budge on the premise that lumpens are anime nerds in their mothers basements but I will accept that the other end of the personality scale are just as if not more common. There's a generation of lumpens who stand to inherit a significant amount of wealth but are socially isolated.

All good takes in here. Mine is that because education is the only real power structure the left control. Not in that we control the apparatus but physical reality does, and reality is our greatest ally. Universities even as profit mills are still a doorway to understanding reality through any sort of objective analysis.

Disenfranchising the educated is the only method to stop them becoming detractors of the capitalist state, and even then ehhhhh they still do. I've got a friend who's a biologists who's incredibly intelligent but "hates politics" as they put it and defaults to being a lib... but with their takes on society being biological, evolutionary, anthropological ect, they're always very close to supporting communism...because obviously profit killing everything on the planet is not a good evolutionary outcome.

I don't understand. Porn is everywhere....is it to find specific porn? What sort of surgical precision masturbation are these people getting up to?

Based.....?

Porn? I meant Corn. Delicious corn. Nourishing and good for you. Where would the cumless masses be without the corn to sustain us?

I just tried to test that by going to bing and searching 'porn'. Yup that's porn alright. 👍

All of the above. Score one for mercenary leftism.

Oh my I was not aware of that.

Every country is good if you're rich and bad if you're poor. I hear good things about Finland though.

This is the conquest by capitalism socialists should be pursuing.

I wouldn't fall in to the trap of speculating on the conditions of poverty through the process of analysing it's outcomes. That's causally backwards.

We're well placed to say the conditions of poverty effect all behaviors and poverty should be eradicated because those conditions are bad.... it's not because the behaviors that result from them are. Otherwise you isolate the argument and allow bias to dictate everyone's conclusions.

What will blow your mind is how it mirrors Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Even the titles are constructed in a similar way.

I like a game where you effectively have a career and level up into new types of gameplay.

One idea I had is where you start as an intern for local government all your superiors are insane, incompetent, drunks or drug addicts making crazy demands. It kind of a city builder sim but plays like Papers Please and the politics aspect of CK2. You get things done by doing favours, you have various conditions for failure like the city goes to shit, it goes bankrupt, you get caught for corruption ect. Eventually you work your way up to Mayor and you've inherited a city that's just nonsense. Sewage plants next to hospitals, all the schools have been bulldozed to make way for fast food restaurants, crack cocaine is legal and half the city is addicted to it ect.

At that point you get actual control of the city and have to recover it before you can move on to the next map.

Happiness is just fulfilling either your own sentimental ideals or materialistic goals. The wealthy get the latter but alienate them selves from the former. It's like my GF asked me recently if I won the lottery what would I do. Aside from "do a lot of shit I couldn't even get in to right now" as my answer, she asked "wouldn't you buy a bunch of guitars?" and my reply was I'd probably buy like 1 guitar but I'd rather make my own guitars if I had the time space and resources to learn how.

To which she replied "well aren't you just fucking perfect". But it's true, not that I'm perfect, but if I bought a bunch of guitars I'd have no reason to pursue building them and would never be able to achieve that flavor of happiness and satisfaction.
